I’ve spent more than half of my life challenging the norms, fighting the status quo (in a way) and bending the rules to just be satisfied with whatever I was doing. And I thought that’s what life is all about — either follow the rules or create new ones, by bending them. Despite the insignificant …

Hand me a list and I'll get to work. Today wasn't any different. I should ideally be happy. The day was super productive... But it's almost midnight and I miss my kids. They're fast asleep. Of course, I'll catch up with them tomorrow but that's not the point. The challenge with all us hustlers is …

Stephen Fry once said in an interview: "Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it – that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not …

They ought to be had. And the sooner you do it, the better. Yet, we don't do it as often as we should, which isn't great since the opportunity cost is just too high. It may even cost your life! And it becomes even more important if you are the one needing that conversation. I …

I lost my trusty AirPods a couple of days back. And I’ve been cussing under my breath every minute since. For being so stupid. So careless. So inconsiderate. How the hell could I lose them?

I would even argue that productivity isn't about the number of hours you spend doing "useful stuff" anymore. Productivity is a mindset. It's your …

It's been quite a "content" heavy day for me. Literally. I've been bumping into content marketing or related queries/posts/comments/suggestions/strategy all through the day! It's dinner time... and lo, I'm talking about "content" here again! I'll keep this one short (I'll try) — "content" is everywhere. The ideas, suggestions, tactics and the strategy (short, mid or …

Regardless of who you're working for (yourself or someone else), you should have a side project. Period. It's not about hustling to make millions. If it happens, great! If not, that isn't the point anyway. I've been working on numerous side-projects since 2007. And I'll be honest, I haven't made a nickel off any of …

I've been going back and forth to this piece the whole day. A compelling read and something everyone in marketing (not just the managers) should carefully study. Let me promise you one thing — your marketing game will change the minute you decide to seriously consider data and patterns (as laid out in this piece). …
